Dini, if I stopped, I might never start again!!! You know what its like with a very active child. LOL

Seriously, I think you handled the situation really well with Adam. And you are not bringing us down when you unload. We care about you. That's what we're here for. I agree with Danny, though. He can't communicate his true feelings. However, if he has to plan his move based on his paycheque, not on what is right for the situation, I find that sad. Surely he has friends or family that he could turn to.

Take care of yourself and your princess first... everything else can wait!

hey Kathy!!

the paycheck thing is so sad i totally agree, but that is the way Adam is. we were brought up in two very different world, i've always been comfortable with parents who i did not get on with him they always push me to have better.

Adam has always settled and thats where we clash. When we met i gave up everything to be with him, Nice car , having my own business (MY FOLKS WERE GOING TO HELP ME GET SORTED NOT ANY MORE THUOUGHT!!) and a nice bank account. at least i got Annafrancesca for my troubles !!!!

Dini, it sounds like y'all are going to move forward your separate ways. I am always available to talk with you should you need it. Just IM me. I imagine you feel like a load has been lifted off your chest. You have a great attitude, that you at least got Annafrancesca :Banane21: She is a little princess. I am sure once you are on your own, your parents will want to help you get situated. Parents don't want their kids to struggle if they can help, especially daughters. They may not set you up in a business but they will probably be there for you. Especially if Adam was the problem between you and your parents. Love ya girl...many many hugs:girl_hug::):girl_hug:

I love my magic bullet.....easy to use and easy to clean up!! I've taken chunky Soups and added a little milk and it purees perfectly!! Much better than a food processor!!!

When should I start adding Protein Powder to things? I'm still drinking the Protein drinks......just curious. Thanks.....

Hope everyone is doing well today........:biggrin1:

Hi everyone! I went to the doc today and had my first fill...and survived! really, it wasn't bad at all. I was freaked out for no reason. Didn't take long and didn't hurt beyond the numbing shot. I go back on the 31st for my 2nd fill. So back to liquids for today. Have to say, I really didn't miss soup!!!

Hey Chim! I know what you mean about starving... just try to drink lots and eat stuff thats healthy. Bandster Hell feels like the food is just falling straight into your big stomach. AGH! Hopefully my fill comes soon!

Sunny, I just got the yahoo messenger back, so I'll try the IM tomorrow evening. I'm heading to Kings Island amusement park tomorrow with DH and kids. Probably will be gone all morning and after noon. I'm at dolphinatic617@yahoo.com.

Kathy, hope you have a great vacation. Have any good plans??

Dini babes, you'll be a stronger woman for all of this. You may not see it now, but you'll get through this, and will be just fine. We all care, and we're hear for you whenever you need to unload. BIG hugs to you.

Icy breeze, you got a numbing shot with your fill????? Not me, and I got a dime size bruise left on my belly.

Chim, it gets better, I promise. Drive safe!!

Heading to bed, but I'll check in tomorrow evening. Everyone have a great evening and a wonderful Saturday!!

When exactly does "bandster hell" begin? I'm only 4 days out and have not felt all that hungry yet, just drinking my shakes and liquid. Maybe it's because I'm still on the sore side of surgery???? I'm hoping that once the discomfort subsides that I won't be hungry still......am I being unrealistic? Probably.

I'm so NOT hungry that I'm not having a problem cooking for my DH, but I did tell him that he has to clean up the mess afterwards because I don't want to smell foods lingering.....lol No use tempting fate here.....

Hi Everyone! I am glad to see everyone is doing so well! I haven't had my first fill yet but am anticipating it. I am finding myself hungry but am trying to eat only a cup or so of food (to get used to it). Luckily it's so darn hot out that it makes me less hungry than usually. I am going to Atlantic City for a couple of days next week and decided to pick up a few new shirts. I was able to get a couple of 1X's! That was exciting!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
